ATTENTION: Your system installer can write PAL to allow
the operator to select dry run at any time. This means that
during normal automatic operation, the operator can select
maximum cutting feedrate and replace all feedrates
programmed with an F word with the AMP assigned dry run
feedrate. This can result in damage to the grinder, part, or
injury to the operator.

You can activate the dry run feature by using a switch installed by your
system installer (see documentation provided by your system installer), or
by using the
{FRONT PANEL} softkey (see page 2-11).
Automatic mode is the normal operating mode of the control. A program
that is run in the automatic mode is executed with all of the axes active and
all of the programmed feedrates active. Graphics is also available as
described on page 8-24.
To select the automatic mode, place the switch (on the
MTB panel) in the AUTO position. If not equipped with a mode select
switch, use the
{FRONT PANEL} softkey.
AUTO appears on the main menu screen when the control is in automatic
mode as shown in Figure 7.4.
